Why teach at CASA Academy?

We embrace a growth mindset.

We pride ourselves in our ability to provide our teachers with excellent observations and coaching. One-on- one coaching occurs on a weekly basis and staff have a school-wide professional development each Thursday. We also offer 2-3 weeks of summer professional development and four days of all-day professional development for staff throughout the year.

We have fun!

CASA is a fun and joyful learning environment. We have a free snack bar, coffee bar and beverage station for staff. We also enjoy fun activities as a team including taco nights, monthly lunches organized by our PTO, holiday parties and surprise gifts and treats throughout the year!
